A pair of linear equations which has coincident lines have infinitely many distinct solutions. 

For example,

If the two linear equations are of the form:

a1x+b1x+c1=0

a2x+b2x+c2=0

Then the system of equation will have infinitely many solutions if:

a1a2=b1b2=c1c2 .

Such equations would result in coincident lines when plotted on a graph.
